ALL THINGS BUDGET KNIVES

I got a couple of those Cima knives, so I’d be interested in how it stacks up. I like ’em regardless, but… :laughing:

Anyone know of a way to tighten up side play in a Boker Kalashnikov. Tried tightening up the screw till the knife wouldn’t deploy but even then it still had the same amount of side play, so backed off till it just would deploy. Seemed no amount of screw adjustment changed anything in the blade side play. Can shims be added…?

Or is this just the way these cheap autos are…? To bad, as its a light easy to carry edc that deploys with authority. Got the Boker Strike Plus and it has no side play, none, but feels much heavier…?

Could it be because I got the left handed Kalashnikov…? I’m ambidextrous so got the Strike in right hand and Kalashnikov in left handed for $34 at Grindworx. Would that make a difference in side play…?

Guess even with the .015” side play still like the knife, especially for the budget price. It feels good in the hand.

Received a Kershaw Bareknuckle with a 14C28N blade. My favorite Kershaw so far.

Do you have some recommendations about knives with that quite rare set of characteristics (and yes, i think there are not so many ones like this) :

- (required) Knife being openable with a flipper mechanizm

- (required) Lock system being either axis-lock, button-lock, … but neither liner-lock nor frame-lock

- (required) Knife to still be easily internationaly orderable

- (would be nice) No thumb stud

  • (would be nice) Not too expensive

There is really not a lot of models with these characteristics (obviously because the flipper / axis-lock combination is maybe a bit “contradictory”, with the lock system reducing the effectiveness of the flipper opening) :

- I found the SOG Terminus XR, that i already bought (https://www.amazon.com/SOG-EDC-Folding-Knife-Mechanism/dp/B07K34KFKK/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8).

Other than that, a few models have been produced, but rather difficult to find nowadays (like a few Benchmade models, for example the “Benchmade Axis Flipper”, sadly discontinuied as far as i know Amazon.com).

Thanks in advance for any pointers :wink:

Have a look at the Protech Mordax.

Was about to write that. Btw OP, the Mordax is sold by drop.com
There is also the Protech Malibu which has gotten great reviews, but doesn’t seem to be in stock anywhere atm.

Fake Mordax Alert!! :smiley: More fidgittterrryyy than my smock….very smooth action, arm shaving sharp….an Ali clone, fake.

Wow! That all black version looks awesome! :+1: I was about to order the blue version but I changed my mind! :slight_smile:

Just saw a video about the Kizer Swaggs Sway back. Might float your boat and it’s not expensive.

Just bought a Buck 501 Squire for my 13 year old Godson, his first knife.
I remember my Brother bought me a Buck 110 as my first knife at the age of 16. Used it for many years then lost it in the Quakees in Utah.
And a Buck 119 leather sheath, as mine is fudged up.

Been carrying the Mordax for 2 weeks. Very fast break in period. Been in front pocket with my phone which has caused some ano to rub off. Ano is weak, but the this knife is the shit! Very happy with it! :sunglasses:

The black one is on the way to me! :slight_smile:

Hello friends. What are your opinion about the new models from SRM (new Sanrenmu)?.

Some of the latest models are overpriced but the quality is very good. The 9202 is similar to a paramilitary 2 with superb quality but I still prefer the Land 155 with ball bearings.

I like more the 1168 model, a bit like a tenacious?. Well, the little 7228 seems me a beauty, it is like a happy folding knife and make me feel happy too.

I hope SRM make new fixed knife too.

Battery Junction had the Ruike 801 on sale during it's black friday sale for 21$ and I had a pair in my cart but got disgusted with Black friday after spending about an hour trying to buy about150$ worth of lights from Armytek who apparently doesn't ship to the United States . Shut my computer off and gave up on the idea of spending anything . totally forgot about the knives .

Now i'm kicking myself ..So dum .

I got one of the newer SRM models. Its the new g10 slipjoint with 12c27 steel. Quality is incredible.

some of the newer srm knives are to high in price but their d2 seems very good.

I don't know about new SRM offerings but I have two Land 910+ knives and have been very impressed ...still going strong
